High-Rise Invasion

While this is an easy show to watch due to quite fast pacing it sadly also seems to be very tonally misguided. A little gag here and there would be fine but sadly it's quite prevalent in the episodes so things are never as dire as they should be (also not supported by it's colorful presentation). Characterization is also moot with constant flip-flopping emotions or even goals for each of them [spoiler](also noteable by each of them almost never overcoming their own fights and instead getting duked out by one another all the time)[/spoiler]. The world building also turned out out be quit lackluster as this whole space is frankly not believable for what they are going for... it's not expansive and plays out quite linear with the core scenario being left ultimately underdeveloped and instead expanded with mask related mumbo jumbo magic. Technically this is also nothing to write home about with stiff animation, often boring indoor BGA and stock battle themes... at least they kept the gore. I'm certainly watching the rest of the episodes when they release but mainly to see what's the explanation for all of this. I expected it to be much worse anyways.
